What is an Electric Cooperative?
An electric cooperative is a local, nonprofit electric company that is owned by the people it serves. Electric cooperatives are governed by a Board of Trustees that are elected by and from the membership. The Board sets policies and procedures that are implemented by Cooperative employees.
